No Eating
The idea of a cult that makes its members fast, even children, is both shocking and disturbing. Such groups often use fasting as a means of control, claiming that it will bring about spiritual enlightenment or physical healing. But the reality is far from this idealized vision.

Making a 2-year-old fast should be considered child negligence. Kids that age barely have control over their bodily functions, let alone their dietary habits. Most people can barely make it through an hour without needing a snack, so it’s hard to imagine what it would be like to go days without food or water.
